Thankyou Dogmatize. I adore older dogs and it breaks my heart that so many are dumped in rescue centers. After they have given their love and loyalty all their lives only to be let down when they need us the most ..it just breaks my heart . !4 is a fab age too , i too feel blessed to have my...

Great idea about getting info from other breeders . I have never bred dogs so unsure about mastitis in dogs , i do know in humans and sheep and goats its important for the little one to keep feeding . some people stop their animals feeding for 24/48 hours if AB's are needed to give them a...

Raw chicken wings or legs , cows oesophagus , dehydrated tripe sticks help to keep mine chewing and their teeth clean too . \As regards food , have a look at mollies wolf heart . very good quality kibble around the same price and free delivery too . You can order a sample of the food and they...

Yea .he is a real old guy . He has just always been fit he is a staffie x JRT cross so he is pretty bomb proof, very hardy . He had mast cell cancer removed from his leg a few years ago and took a long time to recover because there wasnt alot of skin left to play with . Once the wound was sorted...

My old dog was still so active i couldn't believe the diagnosis . I was walking five miles a day with him , he was off lead for most of it going back and forth with a ball so he did way more , he would swim and yes he did pant but he played hard too ..his whole body would wag with excitement ...

Bloody idiots like this annoy me so much I only know this because of a dog attack we suffered.. Nothing can be done unless you take them to court yourselves . While it's an offence to have an out of control dog in a public place and it's against the law not to have a tag on your dog out and...

Exactly what my 17yr did. Please take them to the vet to be checked over. Before my dog was diagnosed with heart problems he did after exercise..I think because he felt strange so he would take himself off somewhere quite and dark till he had recovered. He do sent do it so much now , but it's...

err..not for me sorry

Brilliant post from Joanne ..I agree with everything ..please don't leave your puppy distressed , they are away from mum, siblings , in a new home with strange people new smells etc etc. Poor little popper needs comfort and love . Place the crate by your bed and get up to take him to the loo. If...

I agree , looks like a working line cocker . If the dog was purchased from a puppy farm it's more important to get the dog health checked as soon as possible as puppy farmed dogsare not usually in the best of health and can come with a multitude of heath problems due to bad breeding and lack of...

But that's my problem ..I don't say 'hang on mate , that's not good' I say 'WTF you bloody cruel idiot' which is of no use to anyone and may well put people off joining.. The final straw today was the guy who justified throwingbstones at his dog with a slingshot by saying he was an...

I get that hun, thats why i need my account deleated because i do keep coming back ..and I know I'm of no help because my patience has gone with stupid people treating dogs like crap. I'm actually a really nice person in the real world and know we all have a lot to learn but when I see arguments...

ADMIN please deleate my account because I cannot find out how to do this. I first joined this forum several years ago when I was in desperate need with help for a romanian rescue.. i got no help at all and employed a behaviourist to work with us The second time I came back it was fine but...

Quite a few of us on here have Degree's too ..Quite a few don't ..but you do not need to be an academic to know you don't hit your dog with rocks , especially from a bloody sling shot ..don't suppose by any chance you have been hiding in the bushes and using a sling shot on your depressed dog...

*facepalm*

I genuinely cannot believe you claim to be an academic yet out of the hundreds of studies done and mountains of available literature that explains why using force or physical pain to train is not good ..you find info that says slingshot your dog with a stone .. I think I'm going to leave this...

:( . Not kicking hell out of it no, but still using pain and fear as a way to get the dog to obey you.differently strokes for different folks i suppose but woe betide anyone who tried to do it to my dog. Don't understand anyone who would want to use pain as a way of training their dogs when...

I'm pretty sure any existing conditions will not be covered to be honest . I'm not totally sure about a condition they have had before but hasn't been a problem.for a while. What ever u do though don't try and cover it up cos I don't know about other insurance companies but Sainsburys always...

Who is ? I'm NOT ..but I know if someone prodded my dog in the side I'd prod him in nthe face hahaha x

All entiltled to our own opinion, that's what keeps life intresting. :)
